REMOTE PC-CONTROLLER FOR PERSON WITH LIMITED PHYSICAL CAPACITIES Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC A61F4/00 

FIELD: medical equipment.

SUBSTANCE: remote PC-controller for a person with limited physical capacities to be mounted in his mouth comprises electrically connected coordinating device and signal processing and transmission unit. Said coordinating device represents a hollow pressure-tight thin-walled disk with a radiused outer edge with wall thickness less than that of the rest disk design. The top of the disk has a concave spherical surface, while its bottom has a flat surface. On the outside the concave spherical surface of the disk is smooth and glossy. At the centre of the disk its top and bottom are bypassed. Therein the top has a tactile flange, and the bottom is provided with a lower ledge. The internal surface of the top of the disk is covered with a resistive layer. The internal surface of the bottom of the disk contains contact lines connected by conductors with the signal processing and transmission unit. The latter is packaged as a straight hollow cylinder, with a bottom. The cylinder is coaxial to the disk with its bottom down and adjoins a flat surface of the bottom of the disk with its upper end face herewith forming a tight cavity. The signal processing and transmission unit has contacts provided under the lower flange.

EFFECT: operating convenience of the device arranged in the mouth of a person and effective remote PC-control.
